(4) JRFRK = λS. ∃S’ in JSKga, S ↛ S’ and performing S’ might be justified: S These two accounts capture the distribution of the RFR in quantifier scales as in (5), where the RFR is felicitous with the middle value some but infelicitous with the extreme values none or all.	cache/elm-5395.pdf	txt/elm-5395.txt
